Findings from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Yields New Data on Cardiovascular Diseases and Conditions (Endocrine-disrupting Chemical Exposures In Pregnancy: a Sensitive Window for Later-life Cardiometabolic Health In Women)

摘要

2021 SEP 15 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Research findings on Cardiovascular Diseases and Conditions are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Boston, Massachusetts, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Purpose of Review Pregnancy can be seen as a 'stress test' with complications predicting later-life cardiovascular disease risk. Here, we review the growing epidemiological literature evaluating environmental endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure in pregnancy in relation to two important cardiovascular disease risk factors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and maternal obesity." Financial support for this research came from National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, "Overall, evidence of EDC-maternal cardiometabolic associations was mixed. The most consistent associations were observed for phenols and maternal obesity, as well as for perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) with hypertensive disorders. Research on polybrominated flame retardants and maternal cardiometabolic outcomes is limited, but suggestive. Although numerous studies evaluated pregnancy outcomes, few evaluated the postpartum period or assessed chemical mixtures."
